Creativity Challenges
I enjoy being creative and enjoy witnessing the creativity of other people. I really do think that every person has the ability to be creative and that the process of being creative has a healing power to it. Creativity is a way of allowing feelings and emotions to be released. It can help you connect with yourself and others. Remember, creativity is about the PROCESS not the product. Get Creative with these Creative Challenges. You can choose a topic and challenge yourself or encourage your family and friends. Creativity is contagious... Pass it on! You can share your creativity with me via Instagram @jam4joypics #jam4joycom.
